More TAG fun with Ben 10!
We've had a TAG system for a while now, (one of the better purchases I've ever made!) This is the system where you have a special "pen" which reads individual words or captions, the whole page or indeed the whole story depending upon what you select. The Diego and other books that we got when we bought the system are now getting a little young for my two boys - even though they still love them - so I was really pleased when I saw the new books for the system that include Ben 10, Star Wars and Spiderman amongst others.

The Ben 10 tag book is a cartoon style book which is a new concept for my kids - however, the fact that it is read to them allows the older child to read along and see which bits should be read in which order. Quite a good introduction to this style of reading material in my opinion! I was initially a bit disappointed to see that there were no games at the back of this book as there were in the others that we have, however it turns out that there are mini games on most pages which quite often involve flicking to other pages to look for certain things, or tests their knowledge or opinion regarding something that happened in the book. In this book, (aimed at slightly older children than our previous ones), the system does not read out each word when pressed - it instead reads out the entire caption. I'm in two minds about this as my boys did enjoy pressing each word in the other books, and I'm sure that it helped their reading. However, this is probably perfect for the age range that this book is intended for, (5-7 years), as they will probably be reading quite a few of the words on their own and these short sentences may well help build reading confidence.

The story itself is exciting and it's certainly kept my two enthralled. All in all I would highly recommend this - I think it will really improve my elder child's reading skills and confidence...and the little one loves listening along too! It's great to see them sitting together "reading" a book!
